Power over Ethernet (PoE) basics and beyond
No Ethernet cable that I’m aware of is capable of carrying anywhere near 15A of current. Even type 4 (90W assuming 57V) is 1.5A.

And don't forget that, with ethernet, every device needs its own run of cable, its own port at the router, ect, ect. Normal power cables support multiple devices.
